Dogma

Linda Fiorentino, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon.

The last known descendant of Christ is called upon to save the existence of humanity from being negated by two renegade angels trying to exploit a loophole. - IMDB

Silent Bob strikes again . . . with all-star cast.

I had passed this DVD up many times because I've heard horrible reviews of the film.  I should always remember:  1. Critics never match my opinions  2.  Even bad movies are good movies ... (I don't know what that means either).

But, as I've mentioned before (maybe) I love 'end of the world' movies.  This is a funny, irreverent, clever and surprising educational Apocalypse flick.  The all-star cast did not distract from the storyline.  If I were to cast a movie, I'd pick most of these actors myself ... yes even Ben & Matt.

Angels

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet.

A couple undergo a procedure to erase each other from their memories when their relationship turns sour, but it is only through the process of loss that they discover what they had to begin with.

<sigh> I've had days like this.

It's all about memory.  How you remember it ... how you forget it ... how you remember to forget it ... how you wish you hadn't remembered to forget.

It's kind of a dark-romantic-comedy version of an anti- Total Recall Soft Sci-Fi.  Instead, "We Can Forget It for You Wholesale"
